The majority of the savings will contribute directly to the improvement of the company's adjusted EBITDA. While these actions will support the company's most recent forecast for 2019, the material result of these changes will be evident in 2020.

Management Commentary:

'Continuing pressure on our topline revenue has forced us to optimize the way we offer our services to the market,' said Suri Suriyakumar, CEO of ARC Document Solutions. 'We cannot control the market or change how our customers are using our services, but we can certainly adapt quickly to protect our cash flows and the financial well-being of the company.'

'Our business has been constantly challenged by emerging trends in the marketplace, but we are not being pressured from the loss of customers, a lack of relevant services, or from our competition. We have what our clients want and need, but they are simply not consuming it in the volume we've seen historically,' said Mr. Suriyakumar. 'Our pivot to color and non-traditional uses of our print services will help expand our addressable market, but the optimization of our sales, marketing and workforce is important to make the most of what we already have.'

'Our year-to-date cash flows are on par with our performance in 2018,'said Jorge Avalos, Chief Financial Officer. 'Also notable in the quarter was our ability to maintain our gross margins despite the drop in sales. Our operations team remained nimble and responsive even in the midst of our reconfiguration, the optimization exercise, and systems upgrades.'
